"Tell Your Stories Using Videos Produced On Your Phone" These days, videos are the best way to tell stories and catch the attention of donors. But you don’t always have to hire a professional video production team. Shooting and sharing videos is becoming much easier, thanks to a wide selection of mobile apps available to capture, edit and distribute your best footage. Some apps are smartphone versions of powerful, desktop, video-editing software, while others are new tools for the Instagram generation of social sharers. At this workshop with video storytelling expert Leon Fooksman, you’ll learn about these apps and practice using them. You’ll also understand the best practices of sharing these do-it-yourself videos on your social media, your websites, and your e-newsletters. You’ll walk away with the knowledge to produce more videos and share your best video stories with your stakeholders.
